Letter – Nicholas Walton to Henry Airey – 20 Mar 1772

Mr Henry Airey						Farnacres 20th March 1772 



Sir

      Having considered the Freight of the Bone ashes from London to Newcastle I think it will be the best way to fix it at £2.2.  for every 50 Casks and I have therefore made out an Acct below which may be included in the settling for the Three Hundred Pieces of Lead sold to Mr Fish.   I think Two Guineas quite sufficient and hope every one will be satisfied with it being settled in this way. I am 

      NW Junr.





Due to Mssrs Henry & Jonathan Airey for Freight of Bone Ashes from London to Newcastle the Waterage from Shields to Newcastle ( 8s4d for every 50 Casks) having been before accounted for and Paid.
